Joystiq Network Poll: Which Platform for GTA IV?
Posted Apr 10th 2008 12:00PM by Xav de Matos
Filed under: Fan stuff, Polls
There's a game coming out at the end of this month which our insider sources tell us is a big deal. In case you haven't heard, it's called
Grand Theft Auto IV. On April 29
GTA IV hits retail for both the Xbox 360 and PS3, and we're curious to see which console Joystiq Network readers will choose -- so we thought we'd ask you! The following poll will run on Joystiq, PS3 Fanboy and Xbox 360 Fanboy, but you can only vote
once. Will it be the exclusive DLC for the Xbox 360 or the free multiplayer on the PS3 that will sway your purchase? Let us know. Voting will end this Sunday, at noon.

Vote for PS3.
PS3 is clearly better console for GTA IV.

I have the LE edition, for myself, and a standard edition pre-ordered for 2 reasons:
1. It launches on Xbox360, a console I already own
2. DLC
All things being equal, had there been no DLC, I would have purchased a console for this game. If I were in a purchasing position, I would choose the platform with more to offer, and DLC would have then weighed into my decision.
Exclusives do move consoles, at this point FF will prompt me to purchase a PS3. Were that game to show up on the Xbox 360 (and I don't expect it) it would save me a console purchase.
GTA is, in my opinion, a console mover. It will be interesting to see if the DLC for the 360 has people choosing that version rather then the PS3 version.

I prefer the PS3 because it runs better, better controller, better online and my friends got PS3s.

It runs better?? That's a lie.
Better controller?? The 360 has the best controller so far of all games consoles, hands down.
better online?? that's bs, no unified friends system.
Your friends having ps3s is the only valid point i see there.

Better online? Runs better?
The Xbox 360 has unquestionably the better online service and it gets online DLC. Also I have not read a single report that says the game runs better on the PS3 although I have read a couple minor comments that say the opposite.

I don't understand why Xbox360s online is 'so much better than ps3s'.
PS3 online is free. And you can still play online. What more do you want?

Strange at it may seem, it's the ability to obtain achievements on one platform and not the other that makes the decision for me (360). Not so much for the score itself, but the ability to share with friends our progress in the game.
We'll see what trophies do for the PS3 once Home is released, but I doubt it will be enough to sway everyone on my friends list to Sony's platform. Until that's the case, Microsoft wins the cross-platform battle for me.

PSN is a free service to all. To play GTA 360 online, you must pay for gold subscription. That is likely what they mean. For me, I say 360 cause it is what I have. Do I hate ps3? No. I just don't have the cash for both and the 360s online play appealed to me more than ps3. Most of my friends have a 360.

Free multiplayer because you are paying for Xbox live. It's a moot point, I don't know many 360 owners who don't have a subscription. Xbox 360 wins for me because achievements and the fact that I only know a few people who will be playing this on PS3.
